	<div class="exampleIntro">
	<p>Along with the locale customization parameters covered in the <a href="japan.html">Japanese</a> and <a href="germany.html">German</a> calendar examples, Calendar also supports the ability to set a year offset (from the Gregorian year), which can be used to support locales such as Taiwan (zh-TW), for which the year is 1911 years behind the Gregorian year. This example demonstrates how the year offset field can be used to create a Calendar for the zh-TW locale.</p>

	<h2 class="first">Setting up the Calendar</h2>

<p>As with the other localization examples, we set up the various label, position and delimiter fields for the Taiwan (zh-TW) localized calendar:</p>

<textarea name="code" class="JScript" cols="60" rows="1">
        // We set the year_offset configuration field to -1911
        YAHOO.example.calendar.cal1 = new YAHOO.widget.Calendar("cal1","cal1Container", { 
                    MULTI_SELECT:true, 
                    YEAR_OFFSET:-1911 
        } );

        // Year/Month/Date formats for zh-TW: yyyy/mm/dd, mm/dd, yyyy/mm
        YAHOO.example.calendar.cal1.cfg.setProperty("MDY_YEAR_POSITION", 1);
        YAHOO.example.calendar.cal1.cfg.setProperty("MDY_MONTH_POSITION", 2);
        YAHOO.example.calendar.cal1.cfg.setProperty("MDY_DAY_POSITION", 3);

        YAHOO.example.calendar.cal1.cfg.setProperty("MY_YEAR_POSITION", 1);
        YAHOO.example.calendar.cal1.cfg.setProperty("MY_MONTH_POSITION", 2);

        // Date labels for zh-TW
        var months = ["\u4e00\u6708","\u4e8c\u6708", "\u4e09\u6708", "\u56db\u6708", "\u4e94\u6708", "\u516d\u6708", "\u4e03\u6708", "\u516b\u6708", "\u4e5d\u6708", "\u5341\u6708", "\u5341\u4e00\u6708", "\u5341\u4e8c\u6708"];
        var weekdays = ["\u661f\u671f\u65e5", "\u661f\u671f\u4e00", "\u661f\u671f\u4e8c", "\u661f\u671f\u4e09", "\u661f\u671f\u56db", "\u661f\u671f\u4e94", "\u661f\u671f\u516d"];

        YAHOO.example.calendar.cal1.cfg.setProperty("MONTHS_SHORT", months);
        YAHOO.example.calendar.cal1.cfg.setProperty("MONTHS_LONG", months);

        YAHOO.example.calendar.cal1.cfg.setProperty("WEEKDAYS_1CHAR", weekdays);
        YAHOO.example.calendar.cal1.cfg.setProperty("WEEKDAYS_SHORT", weekdays);
        YAHOO.example.calendar.cal1.cfg.setProperty("WEEKDAYS_MEDIUM", weekdays);
        YAHOO.example.calendar.cal1.cfg.setProperty("WEEKDAYS_LONG", weekdays);

        // Month/Year label format for zh-TW
        YAHOO.example.calendar.cal1.cfg.setProperty("MY_LABEL_YEAR_POSITION",  1);
        YAHOO.example.calendar.cal1.cfg.setProperty("MY_LABEL_MONTH_POSITION",  2);
        YAHOO.example.calendar.cal1.cfg.setProperty("MY_LABEL_YEAR_SUFFIX",  "\u5E74");
</textarea>

<p>However for the Taiwan localized calendar, we also specify a year offset for the Calendar as shown on line 4 above. The year offset is applied whenever the Calendar renders a year as a string, or accepts a year as string input.</p> 

<p>For example, when setting selector dates, or the page date using strings, we use the offset date (the Gregorian year-1911). The months and dates are the same as the Gregorian calendar:</p>

<textarea name="code" class="JScript" cols="60" rows="1">
        // When working with strings, we use the offset year...
        YAHOO.example.calendar.cal1.select("98/8/1-98/8/8");
        YAHOO.example.calendar.cal1.cfg.setProperty("PAGEDATE", "98/8");

        // When working with Date objects, we need to have it reflect the Gregorian date...
        YAHOO.example.calendar.cal1.cfg.setProperty("MAXDATE", new Date(2009, 7, 20));
        YAHOO.example.calendar.cal1.render();
</textarea>

<p>
It's important to note that whenever you're working with JavaScript Date objects, the year will/should always be set to the Gregorian year (and not offset by the year_offset amount), since 
the JavaScript Date object's month and date rollovers and leap year calculations will only work correctly when operating with the year set to the equivalent Gregorian year.
</p>

<p>For this reason, any JavaScript Date objects returned by Calendar's methods, will always reflect the Gregorian year, even when a year offset is set, and any Date objects passed into Calendar methods, should reflect the Gregorian year.</p>
